Tawse Growers Blend Pinot Noir 2015

The Grower's Blend is yet another Tawse pinot noir that needs a couple of years to settle, flesh, and comply so here things have loosened for change. This 2015 is prettier, softer, and finer, with thanks to some maturing older vine fruit, a really workable vintage, and a deeper understanding. Earthy hematic and ferric notes still persist but they are already relegated to the background, with polished cherry and strawberry fruit up front. Still delivers some grip and form behaviour but only for balance. Lovely example of Peninsula Pinot Noir, in the end. Drink 2017-2021. Score - 90. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Nov. 29, 2017)
